True, it does suffice if you are a bastard born of an American citizen overseas.

But if you are an American married to a foreign national and living in Foreignnationalisatan, your kid is a Foreignnationalisatani by birth, not an American.

Also if you get knocked up by an American (military or civilian) in Foreignnationalisatan, and you are Foreignnationalisatani, your kid is also a Foreignnationalisatani.

By itself, one American parent is no guarantee of American citizenship.

Nor is Citizenship, by itself, a qualifier for holding the office of President.

No, sorry, you’re mistaken about that.
